EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Alnwick on 26 June 1983. The image captures the essence of a bygone era as Alnwick Town Crier John Stevenson leads a spirited procession through the town. Dressed in traditional attire, his presence commands attention with every step he takes. With his mouth wide open, John Stevenson showcases the age-old customs and traditions associated with being a town crier. His voice echoes through the air, amplified by the bell he holds firmly in his hand. As he marches confidently forward, it is evident that he is more than just an announcer; he is a symbol of community spirit and shared heritage. The photograph encapsulates both the informative nature of town criers and their role as messengers for important news or events within their towns. In this moment frozen in time, we witness not only one mature man but also an entire community gathered around him, eagerly listening to his words. Although details about John Stevenson's age remain unknown, what remains clear is his dedication to upholding this cherished tradition during a period when such practices were beginning to fade away. This snapshot from the 1980s serves as a reminder of how our past shapes our present and invites us to reflect upon our own connection to history.
